If you want to know what your performance is, not what mode your NIC
is in, a lot of people recommend "bing".  It will collect statistics
over a period of time and give you both average and extreme cases.

On my system, I'm seeing around 35 Mbps on the LAN (which isn't
surprising since I've since learned that many networking gods think
that 3Com cards are junk despite their reputation), and probably
something around 800kbps to some well-connected sites via the cable
modem.
